Episode 034: To burn, or not to burn--that is the question

This week, on the Atheist News Podcast, we start off talking about the whole Quran burning fiasco. All this nonsense makes me wonder: when is it OK to burn a book? Is it ever OK? Are books a bit of a "sacred cow," or are we reticent to burn them for a good reason? Listen to the show first, then head to http://www.atheistnews.org/ and check out the poll we have up. If you have a more complicated perspective, go ahead and hit me up on the contact form.

After that, do the atheist news dance and as a change of pace we save the listener mail for the end of the show. Thank you to everyone who wrote in regarding the topic of rape. I think two weeks is probably enough torture to the people who just don't care to hear any more about it, so I decided to not get into it this show. I'll continue to reply via e-mail and may even post a few up on the site and we can talk about it there.
